Teen Miraculously Survives 400-Foot Fall Down a Canyon

A 19-year-old plummeted more than 400-feet down the side of a canyon in Washington state over the weekend—and walked away with only minor injuries.

The teen was attempting to hike beneath the High Steel Bridge in Mason County on Saturday when he fell and took the steep 420-foot plunge, Fire Chief Matthew Welander of West Mason Fire told King 5.
